Sweet Lemon Bread Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 lemon's rind, grated
3/4 cup blanched almonds, chopped
1 topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1 juice of one large lemon
Recipe Preparation
Bread:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
In bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.
In large mixing bowl, cream butter/margarine and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs 1 by 1. In 3 equal batches, alternately add dry ingredients
and milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and rind. Fold in nuts.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly with rubber
spatula. Bake 1 hour and test for doneness. (During last 15 minutes,
cover loosely with aluminum foil, if necessary to prevent bread from
becoming too brown.)
Meanwhile, in bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and juice of 1 lemon,
stirring with fork until sugar is dissolved.
Leave bread in pan and place on wire cooling rack. Make tiny holes in
top of bread with toothpick. Pour lemon/sugar mixture slowly across
top, giving time for topping to be absorbed into warm loaf. Allow 15
minutes to set. Remove bread from pan and finish cooking on wire
rack. Makes 1 loaf.

The argument against low carb diets

Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is very hard (although not technically impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carbohydrate diet.
Many scientific studies over recent years have proved that high consumption of animal fat can lead to higher chance of cancer, heart problems and other major health problems.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, collard greens and tomato puree)
